How do you make sense of Big Data? When you’re receiving 100 million events per hour and you need to save them all permanently, but also process key metrics to show real-time dashboards, what technologies and platforms can you use? This course answers those questions using Microsoft Azure, .NET, and Hadoop technologies: Event Hubs, Cloud Services, Web Apps, Blob Storage, SQL Azure, and HDInsight. We build a real solution that can process ten billion events every month, store them for permanent access, and distill key streams of data into powerful real-time visualizations.
